Research Article: Daytime Hypercapnia Impairs Working Memory in Young and Middle-Aged Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome
Introduction:
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) induces nocturnal intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia due to apnea and hypopnea caused by repeated airway collapse during sleep. The prevalence of OSAHS is increasing year by year, from % to % in the s to the current % to %, and can be as high as % in the elderly. , Many studies reported cognitive deficits in patients with OSAHS, mainly manifested by inattention, and impaired memory and executive function which reduces learning and working efficiency, affects…
